Several laser setups allowed direct excitation of ion-beams and other targets for high-precision atomic structure studies.
Most recent studies included: precision absorption and lifetime studies in
cesium to provide low energy tests of parity non-conservation;
spectroscopic studies of multiply-excited high-spin states of relevance to new xuv lasers.
This area of research has now been terminated; the laboratory (Nieuwland B084, etc) was transferred in August 2008 to the Dean for his experimental program;
at this time (August 2009), he has not yet moved into the space; a new program of low energy collisions has begun in the smaller APAL II lab in Nieuwland 380, in collaboration with
Professor Grant Matthews. This lab also houses loan materials for the use of modern technology techniques in high-school and middle school science classrooms.
